The East Xiongnu Empire had an army of only two million soldiers, currently stationed along the borders of the Zhao State and the Great Qin Empire. In the past, during its heyday, the Hidden Soldiers Cave in the Great Snow Mountain could conceal a massive Xiongnu force of up to 600,000 men, but now it could only hold a little over 100,000.
The fundamental reason for this was that a large portion of the troops had been deployed to the border of the West Xiongnu Empire to resist its invasions. At the same time, Prince of Shicheng Hua Tianxiong had gained a clear understanding of the current high-level combat strength of the East Xiongnu Empire.
Aside from the Left Wise King of Xiongnu and the Right Wise King—the latter of whom had been defeated by Zhao Wuji and possessed the strength of a Rank 6 Martial General—there were ten other kings. Almost all of them were stationed along the borders between the West and East Xiongnu Empires, with the Left and Right Wise Kings belonging merely to the middle-lower tier among these twelve monarchs.
